This pattern comes from my pal, Rowena, who designed this one herself (she's brilliant). Aurora 8 is 100% superfine merino wool. It is machine washable and very soft as wool goes. I made this scarf 4 inches wide and 5 1/2 feet long. This was the first project where I learned the purl stitch, crossover cables, and ribbing, so it was an educational scarf! It's totally cool because it's reversible too.

NOTE: I changed color from charcoal heather to navy after 41 rows of charcoal heather. At the end of the scarf, I also knit 41 rows of charcoal heather. The bind off is much looser than the cast on and tended to flare out more than I liked. When I wove in the tail after binding off, I tightened the bottom edge to round more like the cast on end. Rowena's original pattern had only 3 cables and used a large gauge yarn, so she helped me throw in the extra (4th) cable and increased the rows between crossovers.
